Symptoms Of Decline In Races (1878)

By George Spencer Bower

Book Overview

Symptoms of Decline in Races is a book written by George Spencer Bower in 1878. The book examines the idea of racial decline, and the symptoms that are associated with it. Bower argues that there are certain traits that are common among declining races, including physical and mental degeneration, a lack of creativity, and a decline in moral values. He also discusses the factors that contribute to racial decline, such as climate, diet, and social conditions. The book is a reflection of the prevailing attitudes of the time, which were often racist and ethnocentric. Bower's work is significant in that it provides insight into the way that people thought about race in the late 19th century. However, it is important to note that the ideas presented in the book are now widely discredited, and are considered to be both scientifically and morally flawed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
